Google has admitted to election interference, but they claim it is just an honest mistake. If that were even remotely true, they could explain why honest mistakes only go against conservatives and never against socialists. And how come honest mistakes never go in favor of conservatives? And also explain why they allow communists er, I mean Democrats to lie, no matter how much their lies have been debunked. Take Biden’s claim that Trump called racists and Nazis “very fine people,” even after the far-left Snopes finally admitted it was a lie. Now, Harris is telling the same lie.
The most recent Google censorship was when they blocked all mention of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. They now claim that the moment they found out about it, they fixed it. That is a damn lie. It was out there for a while and was not corrected until Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jim Jordan, sent a letter to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai on Monday that laid out the issues in depth. And if you typed in Donald Trump, Google would redirect you to a Vice President Kamala Harris site. I guess that was an accident too. Right?
Jordan wrote:
“The Committee and Select Subcommittee [on the Weaponization of the Federal Government]’s oversight has shown how the federal government has coerced or colluded with technology, social media, and other companies, including Alphabet, to moderate content online.”
“Recent reporting has indicated that Google may now be interfering in the 2024 presidential election by censoring information about former President Donald Trump’s ongoing campaign for the presidency, including relating to the July 13 assassination attempt on him in Pennsylvania.”
“In response to the Committee and Select Subcommittee’s oversight, your counsel provided the Committee and Select Subcommittee with non-public information about Google’s issues with Search and Autocomplete and the company’s efforts to correct them, in addition to offering a private briefing to the Committee and Select Subcommittee this week.”

Wow, Google has a search ban on President Donald Trump!

In Jordan’s letter, he noted that Google’s counsel reportedly admitted to the committee that “predictions for queries about the assassination attempt against former President Trump … should have appeared but didn’t.”
Counsel blamed protections for political violence which were “out of date.”
Meanwhile, when it came to Trump’s name not showing up in autocomplete, counsel said “that this particular issue was caused by a bug.”
As for searching for Trump and getting news about Kamala, Google said that “predictions … may be unexpected or imperfect, and bugs will occur.”
“Bugs will occur” is essentially a big tech version of “mistakes were made.” Bugs did not just spring up out of thin air, Google software engineers programmed the software that contained the bugs.
Under each of the points, Jordan asked Pichai a series of questions he wanted answered. The last one under each point was the same, and it was the most important: “How can the American people be confident that a similar issue, whether intentional or not, will not occur again?”
I can answer for them — you can’t, because it’s Google.
This was understandably a busy week for the search giant, what with a major antitrust case going against them, but you’d at least think there would be some kind of mea culpa other than a “whoops, let’s fix that!”
This is, after all, election interference by one of the biggest corporations in the world. Not just one huge error involving a memory-holed assassination attempt, but also memory-holing an entire administration and news about the GOP presidential candidate.
